Maybe. configure will have tried for such libraries in some order, and 
accepted whatever one worked first. The most likely source of 
information is your config.log file, but that might be tricky to 
comprehend. Also if you have built a static executable, you can try 
using something like "nm mdrun_mpi | grep MPI" and see what sorts of 
function names exist.
